//------------------------------// // Chapter 3: The Starting Line of a New Life // Story: Where am I? What are you? // by MomentumCrow //------------------------------// Location Equestria, Ponyville A new day was starting to shine brightly, the birds were chirping and the sun is shining so brightly, it hurts. While that being said, David still sleeping like a little baby. Twilight heard the snoring and said loudly, "David! Could you stop snoring and go downstairs and have breakfast? You still have somethings to tell for me!" David just jumps out of his bed with a scream, he mumbles to himself, "That was the best sleep I have ever had for the last 2 days. Better luck next time trying to sleep without having an alarm clock." He lets out a few chuckles before getting his body out of the comfortable bed he was offered. A few moments later "Good morning, David", Twilight said while letting out a small yawn. "Top on the morning to ya, Sparkles." "So, do you want sandwich? Or omelets?" "Tough choice...", he said while stroking his imaginary beard, "...why not combining both of them?" "Huh, I never thought of that before. Do you eat sandwiches and eggs together in your world?" "Of course we do! If we don't then where do you think that idea came from?" Twilight laughed and said, "I thought you were some kind of 'Genius' to invent that kind of thing!" David chuckles again, "If I were to be a genius, I would have stayed up all night and be like "Uh! I'm a nerd! Hur-hur-hur!", also reading books while saying it!" "Oh c'mon! Now that's offensive to me!" David just burst out laughing like a maniac, Twilight just can't help but laugh along as well. After a long minute of laughing, Twilight was the one who spoke up, "Alright, let's clean up and go outside, I'll give you a tour and you're gonna tell me everything about your planet just like we promise!" "Okay, I'll get the dishes, you get the door." David said while literally threw every dishes in the sink and ran out the door like someone was chasing him with a knife. After both of them got out of the library, David was met with a light that blinds his eyes, "Gah! Is it always that bright here?!" Twilight chuckles and responded, "No silly! You just got out of the house for the past day or so, maybe you haven't adapt to this new world yet." "Good enough reasons...", he said while rubbing his eyes in pain. Suddenly, he heard something coming from above, he looked up just to saw a screen of blackness. "Rainbow Dash! What is wrong with you?!! You just knocked out my friend!", Twilight angrily shouted at the rainbow mane pegasus. "Uhhhh.... why are there stars floating on my head?", David moans while holding his head in pain. "Oh thank Celestia! You're alive!" "What happened? I just turned around and there was a screen of blackness, and now I'm laying on the ground and who is this?", David said while look at Rainbow Dash. "David, say hello to Rainbow Dash, the one that knocks every other non-pony creatures that follows me." "Ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh! I'm sorry! I didn't know you were Twilight's test subject!", David heard the two words 'Test subject' and literally confused. "Just kidding with ya! My name is Rainbow Dash, you are?", Rainbow said while giving a hoof to David. He accepted the handshake or 'hoofshake' and responded, "My name is David Cambridge and I guess you're a funny perrrrr-pony am I right?" Rainbow nodded and responded with a cocky grin, "You sure I am! Me and Pinkie Pie are the best prankers in Equestria!" "Who is Pinkie-" before he could finish his sentence, and pink figure just popped out of nowhere right in front of him. It kinda seems like everything in this world wants to murder him with jumpscares. "Hi there Mister! My name is Pinkie Pie! It looks like you are new here in this small town, am I correct?!!", the pink cotton hair pony said it faster than a rapper could rap. "Why does everybody here wants to give me a heart attack?!", David said while still catching his breath like he was having a real heart attack. "Of course not doofus! It's called surprise for a reason!", Pinkie responded with the widest grin David could have ever seen. "Does anybody else here wants to kill me?!", David said with a tone filled with sarcasm knowing that this place is filled with colorful ponies and there are no ways of them killing him, besides cuteness of course. "Alright, enough David. Let's continue talking shall we?", Twilight said while eyeing Rainbow and Pinkie, giving them the signal to go away. "Fine, I'll leave you two love birds hanging around. Later David!", Rainbow took off while holding a laugh in her mouth. "I guess I'll be going too, oh and remember to visit my shop! I'll plan a welcome party when you get there!", Pinkie said while continued to bounce off her way. "Now two of those prankers are gone, let's keep walking.", Twilight leads the way and the two continues to talk. The day ends with Twilight and David walking towards the library, both stopped at the doorway and Twilight was the one who spoke up, "So David, are you planning on having a family in this world?". "If I were to have kids in this world, what will they look like?", David asked with a questioning look on his face. "I don't know. I mean, your kind hasn't been here before, and hasn't really breed so I don't know!" "Then that question will remains to be unanswered." "Oh, okay.", Twilight lets out a deep sigh. David could clearly see her frown on her face, but he didn't acknowledge it. "Alright, let's go inside, I'll make something for us to eat. Sounds good?", David said to cheer her up but she only responded with a simple nod. Both of them goes inside the library, had dinner and went into their bedroom. David was still curious about why she was sad all of the sudden, before she asked that question, she was clearly super happy about what he had told her. But he scratches that thought and went to sleep. David knew today was an awful and awesome day but it's only just the beginning, who knows what lies ahead.
